Before the U.A Attack[Tatsumaki Omake]
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsIORMDEv5
Tatsumaki: “Annoying.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlop58cqgdS
With a simple finger, the quirk beast that was wreaking havoc in the street was torn apart by a small tornado.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL2E9eKazm
“Wow, that must be a new record. Not even property damage this time. Good job.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2cEbtcSl5
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHhfOjCats
She turns to her… acquaintance and the one who runs her agency. His marketing efforts and efficient management are what allow the whole thing to work without her. And to think he used to be just a simple office worker.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKTSa3SD8
He was a pretty simple, if not a bit handsome, looking young man with black hair and a loose business suit.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlvxkTpAQ
Tatsumaki: “Anyway, this was much easier than I expected. You said this was some dangerous beast. Couldn’t some other hero handle it?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dmAQcOoD
Arashi: “There were none nearby. I saw the beast. I gave you a call. You know how it is.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAzkLCEoXd
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, these heroes rely too much on us top 3. Especially me; just because I can fly doesn’t mean I have the time to solve every problem.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXRI4C29x
Arashi: “Hey, I’m just the messenger. But if you want a day off, then I can arrange something. I’m sure several sidekicks would be willing to pick up the slack.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmrQ8rqU9P
Tatsumaki: “You do that.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0UpZVJ824
And so it was done; thanks to Arashi, the next day was free. But there w a problem. She was getting bored. Yeah, it was fun to relax at home in her colorful pajamas at first. But it quickly lost its appeal.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Sk95xvwP
Even if most things can’t challenge her, the few seconds of combat were still highlights of her typical workday. So to solve the problem, she called Arashi.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCK9qn1AYV
Arashi: “Tatsumaki? Oh, you miss me already?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN22pZVsugl
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. Anyway, how’s the situation? Do you need me for something?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY903lu685
Arashi: “No, the city is pretty quiet right now. The pro heroes and sidekicks have dealt with any problems that did pop up. So don’t worry; nothing will ruin your free day.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOOxzvXCoy
Tatsumaki: “Hm… is that so?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFhIDOFFB8
Arashi: “Sooooo, what are you wearing?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTwumaywR6
She hung up and fought down the slight blush.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XGwcGEGmG
Tatsumaki: “He is so lucky he’s cu- I mean useful.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQCIzgkBJ
She sighs and lies back on the floor. Her fight against boredom continues, and for once, she doesn’t think she’ll win.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0bsNaVYH
Tatsumaki: “I could visit Arashi, but… that will get complicated fast. I’m not in the mood for that.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTU9UUoJ95
Tatsumaki: “Fubuki is busy with her agency, tch, like always. Izuku and Kiri are at school. I guess I can visit Mom.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBh091acd2
She prepares to get dressed and meet her but instead stops. A smile grows on her face.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2t31MKWS
Tatsumaki: “This might be a good excuse to test that out.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysp4d6gSU
Out of all the abilities her brother has learned, teleportation is the coolest. She doesn’t really need to learn anything more than what she has already. Battles are easy enough as it is. But teleportation could save time and just be plain fun.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaYOFZUq7A
Besides, one of her favorite characters from an old manga she used to read as a kid could do it. Might as well try it; what’s the harm?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ZKi20GKn
So she got up and placed two fingers on her forehead. First, she visualized the kitchen of her previous home. Then she willed her psychic power to turn her desire into reality.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnWjfsoJj3
Either by bending space, breaking her down, and moving her elsewhere, or something else, whatever was easier.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtWqBg8bA
After a moment of actual effort, she felt something happen and smiled. In the next instant, she was in the kitchen.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWZZDh3gO
But something was wrong, as proven by her mother doing a spit take with her tea. Tatsumaki felt weirdly… exposed. Didn’t take her long to understand why, then panic and teleport back home.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE0BgbJ7xJ
She grabbed her pajamas that were left behind and tried to calm her tomato face. A face that got more red when her phone went off. Not running from it, she answered.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNoMY57Rb
Tatsumaki: “…Yes.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqUQO2T5Vw
Inko: “Sweetie, did I see what I think I just saw?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbptMQzO2jT
Tatsumaki: “… Would you believe me if I said no?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqJyQY6H8
Inko didn’t say anything, but managed to say everything.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bnFWWxB1T
Tatsumaki: “Don’t tell Fubu or Izu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02jSF8kAI9
Inko: “Sweetie, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m glad you’re trying new ways to use your quirk. Just… make sure to bring your clothes with you next time.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmwc4yEKvC
Tatsumaki: “T-Thanks, mom, I’ll do that.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn8E4QhVay
She hung up and laid back on the ground after clothing herself. She sighed and accepted the fact she’d probably have to visit her guilty pleasure after all.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu13ZdZc4Dx
Tatsumaki: “Teleportation is overrated anyway.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkQzZpMQzb

After the U.A Attack
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZhU5NCMKa
“So far we have three villains that were leading this attack.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc0693QX8Z
Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi explained to the gathered heroes in this meeting room. The ones present were Snipe, Vlad King, Midnight, Nezu, All Might, and of course Tatsumaki. Unlike everyone, else though, she was leaning against the wall near the window instead of sitting.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I80kexZ7i
She was ready to get out and find these villains as quickly as possible.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVjJZMblV
Naomasa: “First, Kurogiri, the villain that looked to be made of black mist. The only solid part was a large metal device around where his neck would be. He has a warping quirk.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt6dniGIUg
All Might: “A group of villains with someone like that can be very dangerous.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zUOMrvEe
Naomasa: “Second, Tomura Shigaraki. His quirk seems to be the ability to disintegrate anything he touches. As proven by Aizawa’s broken arm. I would assume he’s the leader, but the last-minute appearance of Azrael throws that into question.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53uQCTmxLG
Everyone, minus All Might and Tatsumaki, shivers at the memory of that man. That doesn’t mean All Might doesn’t feel anything when remembering him. But he doesn’t want to explain his connection to Azrael, not yet anyway. And everyone who sneaked a glance at him understood that.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0X2CcGJkL
Midnight: “Can’t believe I’m saying this about a handsome man, but I hope I never meet him again.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rjWZBEXrR
Naomasa: “What’s worse is that we have no info on him. Azrael is clearly an alias.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEt76koh6W
Nezu: “The angel of death… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tvMwZoE9D
Snipe: “You can say that again. Looking at him was like staring down the barrel of a rifle.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf30nPWk6Un
Naomasa: “Based on that, I’d imagine the only ones that should face him are the top 3 pros.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMTXn8iYMh
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I’ll take care of them all by myself. I just need a location.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiL7WCwqZj
Naomasa: “Sad to say, with a warping quirk user on their side, they could be anywhere.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU189lWqN4B
Snipe: “So, long story short, we got nothin to go on. We didn’t even do much damage to any of them. Well, aside from that strategist.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4QTUJG9Ke
Midnight: “Oh yeah, what about him? What do we know?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiwzGHs4Yj
Naomasa: “Apotheosis. Based on Ms. Fubuki’s statements and previous cases involving him, he definitely qualifies as a strategist. Apparently, he was even the cause of that train bomb incident a few days ago.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutT3HwUZMU
Vlad: “That is a sick man; there were kids on that train! If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Tornado… the amount of damage he could have caused… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfK84heHj
Midnight: “What’s his quirk?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5epD43xBMG
Naomasa: “Unknown, Ms. Fubuki insists he used only technology in their fight.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLimAUPKCU
Tatsumaki: “Then he shouldn’t be a problem when I find him. I can easily rip the gear off of him.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt56VhjZgQK
Naomasa: “If you find him. And who knows how you’ll fare against his Psychic Disruptor.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYTmp0evI9
Snipe: “Something he made with you and your family in mind. I wonder why he seems so focused on you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5WYfRd9iH
Tatsumaki: “Simple, he’s scared of me. Hmph, I don’t blame him. His little plan wouldn’t have worked if I was there.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc419ANeCJn
Naomasa: “Which makes his plans all the more dangerous. He can work around powerful obstacles and come up with countermeasures.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxsXGKNMM
Vlad: “The longer he’s out there, the harder it will be to deal with him and this league of villains.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd69otcCvkY
Nezu: “That’s not the most disturbing thing about him, is it, Tsukauchi?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrmVk8wNIK
Naomasa: “No… it’s his possible age. Based on everything we’ve gathered, he seems even younger than the students. By a year or two.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DC9z1gYru
The room grew quiet at that revelation. A villain that smart yet barely a teenager.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVeEg4Bnwt
Nezu: “How sad, that someone so young turned to a life of villainy. Despite how terrifying Azrael may be, I am more concerned with this villain. Especially when you consider what name he chose.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowj5VxDV69
Midnight: “Why?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XcpkPSwSS
Nezu: “Because it means the elevation of a person to divine status, essentially becoming a god.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OeWGDYJpy
Naomasa: “So this kid is incredibly arrogant and egotistical to give himself such a title.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK79NlKs1tY
All Might: “Most villains are. I once fought a guy who referred to himself as a destroyer of worlds. He wasn’t much of one when all it took was two good punches to knock him out.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlguasjUNA
Nezu: “Perhaps, but I have a feeling that his genius can get him close enough to his goals to be a serious threat. I, more than anyone, know just how dangerous a sharp mind can be.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLco5j1kHF
Tatsumaki: “You worry too much.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkAnSlqqiD
Nezu: “Perhaps.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF5d6X67Ty
All Might: “What about the last one, the one young Midoriya fought?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2yinAoFSo
Naomasa: “Well… as you all know… there wasn’t anything left of him. Ms. Fubuki and Midoriya made sure of it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY3TOcDOL9
Vlad: “But what I want to know is how? Based on what Aizawa said, this creature had strength comparable to All Might’s.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3gWueDk5J
All Might: “Yeah, and taking a punch from young Tae is no easy feat.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwJBOayvz5
Despite the dire situation, Tatsumaki let a smile slip. Pride filled her heart to know that her brother, and especially her sister, was able to beat such a monster. She knew Fubuki had more power within her.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE6FALAI2O
But then the smile faded when she remembered what that victory almost cost them. Izuku had to use his fire again, and despite not showing it, she could sense Fubuki was past her limit. It’s a miracle she could still walk home.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz11T9fuJ9
If even one variable was different… she would have lost them. So instead of lingering on that feeling of pride, she focused on her protective instinct. The one that will help find these villains and put this matter to rest.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDEAvGQp2u
Naomasa: “We don’t know how they did it. Midoriya is vague about it, and Ms. Fubuki came near the end, so she can’t tell us much. Todoroki is also a bit vague. Whatever happened is mostly a mystery.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhnNXkfcH1
Vlad: “Hmmm, I don’t like it. What are they hiding?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBW3JsB5rR
Tatsumaki: “If they want to keep it vague, let them. You know the name, Nomu, and you know that it’s an artificial human and has multiple quirks. That’s enough.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16E0hGroco
Naomasa: “I agree, it’s worrying, but nothing we should concern ourselves over.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdMxCqiWnJ
Midnight: “But wasn’t one of the quirks observed regeneration? Based on Todoroki’s report, the Nomu had lost an arm and couldn’t regenerate it like everything else. Tornado, can your brother stop regeneration quirks?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyi8jQilZO
Tatsumaki: “Not that I know of, but why does it matter? It would only be a good thing if he can do something like that if another Nomu shows up.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLltZbSdwD
Midnight: “But aren’t you curious about what your brother is hiding and why?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMZkVBgEdo
Tatsumaki: “No, I trust my brother. Now, I would suggest you stop asking these questions, Midnight.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINuP6cPfk7
The two ladies glared at each other for a moment before All Might coughs to snap them out of it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn8onCWX7r
All Might: “We should get back on track.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDky7Kjhgvc
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, you do that. I got what I needed.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ev47nXYl
Tatsumaki opened the window next to her and flew out in search of her prey.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUXp0G2Lx
Midnight: “Ugh, tell me why we put up with her again.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Uu8ldZgd
Snipe: “Ha, you’re just jealous Tatsumaki and her sister beat you in the most attractive female heroes ranking.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVurpmnbvf
Midnight: “N-No! But let it be known that she doesn’t deserve that high of a placement. Her sister I get though, her body is like a work of art, and she knows how to dress.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV1LGdbbBL
All Might smiled at the banter but also looked at the window where Tatsumaki left. He can only hope she doesn’t work herself to death. She’s not the only one concerned about what happened. She doesn’t have to carry that burden alone.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJRKtj77Cl
All Might: ‘If only I was at my prime…’
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0vPJ3ONWM
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbLX74AK5I
The school took a week off after the attack, and Inko is beyond worried. First, it was that talk with her daughter that didn’t end very well. Next, it was the strange behavior of Kiri and Izuku.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXIPjTMHlg
She understands that they would be shaken by the attack, but there’s something else wrong.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfx6umxY7X
Kiri doesn’t sleep in Izuku’s room anymore. When she first did that, Inko was a bit concerned but quickly brushed it off. Kiri just wanted to stick close to her big brother. Nothing wrong with that.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX5gmrsCX6
No, what’s wrong is when she suddenly stops and looks colder than usual. But that doesn’t compare to Izuku.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkeetIENry
He doesn’t smile anymore and barely talks. His eyes are always far off and his mind elsewhere. Even when Kiri tries to interact with him, he doesn’t respond.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECBjf8GwT
Tatsumaki won’t pick up her calls, and Fubuki is always busy. Enough is enough.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFNT6WG5Z
It’s time for a family get-together.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVOdkZwHeD
While eating at the table in uncomfortable silence, Inko makes her move.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS62Gz4NUwv
Inko: “Kiri, Izuku, I think it’s time for us to have a family get-together. It’s been too long since we all just… had fun. Well, it will be Kiri’s first time, which is even more reason to do it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzh4Lr2zkt
Izuku: “… I don’t know. I’m not in the mood.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVR3YeCKE
Kiri: “…Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoQGoV8ufJ
Inko: “Come on, it might help you two get past whatever you’re going through. At least it could take your mind off of it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NiVge6Edm
Izuku: “… I don’t think that’s possible.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXk322hNw5
Inko: “Sweetie, please. I’m worried, and I… want to help. Just a few hours with your sisters.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm0atuAvll
Izuku looks at Kiri, who looks back. She smiles, trying to bring some warmth back into his life.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaQ8uM1D2p
Kiri: “I would… like it. Can we?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB0jR5UAUp
Inko: “See? Kiri is willing to try it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUobbu9dlLF
Izuku: “…Okay.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OTc0avX8u
Inko: “Great! Now I just have to get Fubuki and Tatsumaki.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSylF2WogQ
Inko grabs her phone and dials Fubuki first. Hopefully, she has the time.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkajcVFD4
Fubuki: “Yes, Mom?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thfJb2WVF
Inko: “We’re getting the family together for a nice relaxing day, just to have fun. What do you say?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJARjO5n4
Fubuki: “I would love to, but-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9BVAjihDa
Inko: “Fubuki, please. I feel like… I’m losing you all. Izuku barely talks, and even Kiri can’t get to him.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hyIkktATR
Fubuki: “He what? What’s wrong with Izuku?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOYBppgtEf
Inko: “I don’t know, but it’s part of the reason why I’m doing this. I thought having some family fun could help. The other reason is… I miss you all.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtajk8b1Ou
Fubuki: “I… miss you too, Mom. Things have been hectic after the attack, and I have been meaning to take a break from training. Alright, I’ll come.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUV0UKbobk
Inko: “Yes!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFppqQRYi0w
Fubuki: “But how will you get Tatsu to come? She’s been… distant recently.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uUtSURyD
Inko: “It might be underhanded, but it’s for her own good.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4mjJIz1dW
30 minutes later
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmozU0Rvd3E
Tatsumaki bursts through the front door, ready to tear apart whoever dared to attack her home.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmvRPbUnEk
Tatsumaki: “Izuku! Mom! Where-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBOjcxEt5x
Instead of a crisis, she sees a normal living room with her whole family present.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesJ57cOGsj
Tatsumaki: “… What the fu-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqeOPdLqPH
Inko: “I’m sorry, sweetie, you wouldn’t pick up the phone when either I or Fubuki called you. So I had Izuku call you and simply say he needed help desperately.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdESHiTv9l
Tatsumaki closed her eyes and pinched her nose. Her heart was about to break out of her chest, and it was for nothing!?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOqFIWOfAn
Tatsumaki: “…Why… why would you do that to me?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTY5Rui0YN
Inko walked to Tatsumaki and hugged her softly.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfpXjDHKD2
Inko: “Because I’m worried, and we left off on a terrible note. I don’t want to lose you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFP7hOmUTG
Tatsumaki: “Mom, you won’t lose me. But nearly giving me a heart attack just to say that, really?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoK7Mvfkdz
Inko: “Not just because of that, I wanted us to go out together. The whole family, to take a break from the troubles of the world.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtvBykKMmw
Tatsumaki: “… Villains don’t take breaks.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3yqFqmB65
Inko: “But heroes should. If they don’t, they might lose to those villains.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtlXx4BdnE
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I could be on my deathbed and still beat them.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnHfa112bM
Inko: “Maybe, but I want my baby at 100%. That way she can better defend those precious to her, right?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4hAec5VcS
The eldest daughter took a moment to think about it, glancing at her siblings before sighing in resignation.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EmiVl3k1i
Tatsumaki: “…Just a few hours and that’s it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODRXDpOIlH
Inko: “Yes!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr8JCAMIf4
The first part is over; now she needs to find something for everyone to do.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ073UhpRj0N
She leads Tatsumaki further into the home, completing the family gathering. But that’s when Fubuki noticed something off about Tatsumaki’s eyes.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJaeWlErqq
Fubuki: “Sister… are you wearing… eyeliner?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6h5RAodMw
Tatsumaki: “W-What? No!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXL0vcklct
Inko: “Ohhh, has my baby finally decided to take her makeup seriously? Let me guess, it’s a boy, right?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcYwG4i3vg
Tatsumaki: “No! We’re not like that!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNylyBShf6g
Silence.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCuT7WEauG
Stunned silence and widened eyes are what you would see in this household. Even Izuku was taken aback.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZOxBeXaLt
We?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82HS4KCBB
We imply two people.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDCKCQoS7D
Two people in this context mean a couple.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3osp7PREnj
Tatsumaki being straight means it’s a guy. A he?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg8y8lDX7v
He?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAAT9MKV0L
HE!?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtj4gY2Iq1
Inko’s smile brightens like the sun while Fubuki leans her head against a wall.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0tdTpY8V
Tatsumaki: “Mom, wait-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLme7qTxPX
Inko: “My baby girl has finally become a woman!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJojHEgd9X
Tears stream down the mother’s face. She never said anything, but she was worried her daughter would never find a guy.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr34zxMG9x
Izuku: “No way.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXMJcHUuf0
Fubuki: “I can’t believe it, big sis got a boyfriend before me. How could this happen?”

Kiri: “New nephew or niece?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcPkvhLKgR
Tatsumaki’s face was beyond red at this point. She covered her face in shame.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2iZIokQh
Tatsumaki: “Come on, stoooop. We’re just… coworkers.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaTgYJKDjK
Inko: “Does this ‘coworker’ have a name?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpPjHnzsYu
Tatsumaki: “…I’m not telling.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXldqhYTAlG
Inko: “Ohhhh, you can be so cute sometimes, Tatsu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4jbjUHNrn
Izuku: “So is it true? You really have a boyfriend?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdTxjyjmnA
Tatsumaki: “No! The only reason I’m wearing makeup is to… cover up the bags.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJEzet9Lav
The once joyful atmosphere sobered as the family looked at Tatsumaki.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEIhsn2LJt
Fubuki: “Sister, how long has it been since you’ve slept?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnYENGrkbk
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I sleep enough.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnTomvhxCQ
Inko: “No, no, no. This is why this family outing is so important; you all need to take a break. You and Izuku need it the most.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjAXkEjHYi
Tatsumaki: “Izu, Y-You can’t sleep?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg1oxdWeWT
Izuku: “It’s been… a bit difficult.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiADpdCykA
Kiri couldn’t help but blame herself a bit. Maybe it’s not her; it could be something else. But maybe the reason why he’s having trouble is because he misses her warmth. They got pretty used to each other at this point, despite the initial struggles.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTustqGmUd
Even Kiri is having trouble sleeping without her snuggle buddy. But she… just can’t be around him while he sleeps anymore. It feels… uncomfortable.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04H2iYAiOJ
Tatsumaki: “Okay, let’s do this then. If you really think it will help.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHnKk6CTn
Inko: “Great!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaxbrv3bz
Izuku: “But what are we doing?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcmdOTa5lq
Inko: “Haha, would you believe me if I said I didn’t plan that far ahead.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASEXvONPR
Fubuki: “Mom…”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkmokqLjK
Inko: “Oops. But don’t worry! By the time you all dress yourselves in something casual, I will have come up with something.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm5QlbZhE1
And so they did. There were still casuals Tatsumaki and Fubuki could wear within the house that suited them. After a few moments, everyone was ready.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx5Zw9CaAk
Izuku had simple gray pants and a white shirt with an open blue hoodie over it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42RbiuJzmy
Kiri wore a long-sleeve yellow shirt that was a size too big but emphasized her cuteness.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0dhpT7iAR
Fubuki had a red dress shirt and a long gray skirt. Together with sunglasses, it made her look truly stylish.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS0UdKWIPI
Tatsumaki wore a black shirt with a biker jacket over it and a dark frilly skirt.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmIXbo7MK8
Inko was already in her casual outfit, a pink shirt with blue jeans. Thanks to Fubuki preventing her from eating herself into a small round figure, she still looked beautiful.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB8wSUBF3k
Inko: “You all look great. Okay, my plan is that we go to the amusement park.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSklSnTfb
Fubuki: “Sounds good, we can take my car.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5PKnV23W
Tatsumaki: “Why drive when we can fly?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hPi8q76C
Fubuki: “Because not all of us can fly, and it’s pretty far.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNpc9Zmlu
Tatsumaki: “You carry Mom, I carry Kiri. Think of it like training.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT270NuLyq
Fubuki: “Training? They’re not that heavy.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDylzxmdCDU
Inko: “I wouldn’t mind Fubuki; it would be fun to fly through the sky again. I still remember the first time you took me out for a flight.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGzPc325x
Fubuki: “We also got in trouble for using our quirk.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tbAffZDfJ
Tatsumaki: “We’re heroes now; they won’t say anything. Now come on.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBIECu7zoi
Fubuki sighs and nods her head. Tatsumaki floats the giggling Kiri while Fubuki helps her smiling mother up. The group flies out after opening the door. But it didn’t take long to notice someone wasn’t following them.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4cX3UrbGB
Fubuki: “Izu?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j7GoabVsc
Tatsumaki: “What’s wrong?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6CschuFBL
Izuku was outside looking up at them, seemingly hesitating to use his quirk. Not wanting to worry them though, he shakes his head.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEPXxDRYKc
Izuku: “N-Nothing.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmH4q271nq
He slowly lifts himself and joins them in the sky.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLlzL23GeL
Tatsumaki: “Great, now try to keep up.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaujQevizU
Fubuki: “No, we’re not blasting off.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCkHt6hLDo
Inko: “I would prefer a more leisurely flight. I love looking at the world below pass by.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpHGZvRWch
Izuku: “Agreed.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YoUTVSQtx
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzsHmGJZiS
Tatsumaki: “Darn, outvoted. Fine, we can go grandma speed.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImA9fzWO8z
Inko: “Hey, your grandma used to be known as the turbo granny. She had no speed quirk, but you wouldn’t know that by how she ran… away from problems, that is.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqKrGsUW2e
The family either laughed or smiled at the comment. After that, it didn’t take long for them to touch down at the nearest amusement park.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZjj6FBUw
Kiri: “Colorful.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJQdht3X6
Inko: “Yep, I’m glad it’s giving you a good first impression, Kiri. So gang, what’s first?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoNL8X3ZCr
“Bumper Cars!” “Roller Coaster.” “Food!” “Ferris Wheel!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDyHlQJ65p
It seemed like everyone had different desires.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpicLjvDQwr
Tatsumaki: “A Ferris wheel? Fubuki, come on! That’s boring.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjIPYOwGrl
Fubuki: “Aren’t we too old for bumper cars?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODEsZxC9Z
Tatsumaki: “Scared of losing? I understand.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXivxFBchF6
Fubuki: “Ha, from what I remember, I always beat you at those.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6y7vvFyX
Yeah, those were the days. One of the few things she could beat her sister at. Besides that and academics, Fubuki didn’t win much. It wasn’t nearly as important as beating her in psychic power, but she still held those small wins in high regard.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNTjUNgQv
Tatsumaki: “Things will be different this time.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bHhjfmOQ
Inko: “Okay, you all want to do something different. How about we play for it? Jan-ken-pon!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RtVPiPU69
Tatsumaki: “And you said I was the one being too much of a kid.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiJIKb3vjs
Izuku: “Does sound fair, though.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qEiqLYPR
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUbo8OIFN
Fubuki: “Let’s do it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivnuVCtvNV
Inko: “Great! Now get ready.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoSMEGNVnU
Everyone got into battling position.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLVBebVWzg
Inko: “Jan!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzTnnJNi1c
Izuku: “Ken.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxiXm1lIuO
Tatsumaki: “Pon!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ihvJDqdJ
The result? Fubuki won.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRfvdRYXgy
Tatsumaki: “Darn it!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0cqYRX7vH
Fubuki: “Ferris wheel it is.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tmIOo4uJ
Inko: “We play again to decide in what order we’ll go in.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrb0PivTkd
The group played again, and at the end, the schedule looked like this.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88C08m7HgU
Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Food, Shooting Range(Inko’s choice), and Roller Coaster.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgw2PIEnzu
Plan set, the family entered the amusement park and had some fun.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92rWRh6K9w
Despite initially not liking it, Tatsumaki enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. Seeing her family just relax was nice and the view was great. Kiri was especially captivated when they reached the summit.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAucn7CJouU
It was so relaxing; Tatsumaki drifted off to sleep on her mother’s shoulder. Seeing this, the family smiled warmly at the innocent look Tatsumaki rarely shows.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHUw8ZbIp
Fubuki: “So we’ll buy another round or two, right?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhHwqkks3
“Yep.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG42eLN1b
The whole family agreed to let Tatsumaki get some rest. So Inko paid for two more rides. When Tatsumaki finally awoke, she was too embarrassed to say thank you directly. But the blush was all they needed.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT669EdAIc
Next was the Bumper cars. The family was nothing but smiles throughout the whole game; it was good to return to simpler times.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4V8JOI6J8
Kiri was the first one out, not used to using any vehicle. Next was Izuku for similar reasons. Much to her surprise, Tatsumaki lost next, but not to who she was expecting.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRarvSoFsA
Inko: “Haha, don’t underestimate your mom, kids. I’ve been driving before you were all born.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwWB7Ur9Xt
Fubuki: “You still need to beat me, the current champion of bumper cars.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGvByohgQ5
Inko: “Former champion, you mean. Here I come!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXbzB1FE7
It was a close match, but in the end, the mother won.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbPfS7wdu
Inko: “Hahahaha!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl00hbni3jL
Fubuki: “I have to admit, Mom, you’re a good driver.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW09ZwQDct
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdyVGV0SoA
Tatsumaki: “You should show those skills more often. You usually drive like a snail.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkyDYq3DI
Izuku: “I don’t think me and Kiri could survive Mom doing some of those moves.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VK1aHiiX0
Kiri: “No, no.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8pFSOee8X
The group shared a laugh while on the way to the food stalls. Tatsumaki got some candy apples, her favorite, while Kiri found her new favorite food.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpp2ChafvM
Kiri: “Mmmmmm!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlnDZnFPlH
Cotton Candy.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjUUeHfkYP
Fubuki: “You two have a ridiculously big sweet tooth.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2TnQXRNMe
Tatsumaki: “And we have no shame. Right, Kiri?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxfo1TwSD7
Kiri: “Nh. Love it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk751yKPcP
Fubuki hasn’t completely accepted Kiri yet, but she can now admit she’s cute with a smile.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxXVJedHx
The rest of the group just got an assortment of normal snacks. Well, normal for Midoriya standards. To anyone else, the whole family had a sweet tooth.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHsIX030gH
Inko got four massive cinnamon rolls.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDLkLq1fel
Inko: “What? It’s a free day today; I can splurge a bit.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x2zIE0f8W
Izuku got some sherbet ice cream.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJx6nWxTBz
Fubuki, the most normal, got a strawberry smoothie.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgXHpvIeeF
The shooting range was a surprise. Everyone did fairly well despite three of them never having held a gun. In the end though, Tatsumaki won.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZNaT4DXh
Fubuki: “You moved the shot with your powers.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWATdtWUJbK
Tatsumaki: “You have no proof of that. I won fair and square. Now, since I won, I’m going to get some more sweets for me and Kiri.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCznxpE6Cog
Kiri: “Yes.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhlUhsf2lJ
Tatsumaki and Kiri dashed back to the food stalls while Fubuki sighed.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbGXZ91Kj
Fubuki: “I swear they’ll bankrupt us at this point.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQL7Yywvi
Izuku: “At least they’re having fun.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4acL27vMP
Inko: “Yeah. But… what about you, sweetie? How do you feel?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApju9zn2sr
Fubuki and Inko look to Izuku with some concern. He’s not as animated as he could be. But despite that, Izuku flashed them a bright smile.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9E5ZUHziO
Izuku: “Y-Yes, I’m… glad I came. It’s fun hanging out with you all again.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPQtqLCDC
Inko hugs her son.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarEPobNFj0
Inko: “I’m happy to hear it. If you ever need a break and you just miss us, please tell me. We’ll do this again.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzADnKFvXM
Izuku: “I… will. Thank you, Mom.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBiDSPBxGU
Inko: “Good. And the same applies to you, Fubuki.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwcwVxF6TF
Fubuki: “Huh? Me?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vxpmeue4w
Inko: “Yes, I don’t want you or Tatsumaki to work yourselves to the bone. So please take a break now and then. Your agency won’t explode without you. Sometimes, you’re even busier than Tatsumaki.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuYINYsse2
Fubuki: “R-Really? I…. didn’t notice. I’ll try to make more time, mom, I promise.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLHI2gSCrz
Inko: “That’s all I ask.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbmNm52ssI
Once Tatsumaki and Kiri were back, they ended things with the Roller Coaster. Kiri didn’t understand why her family was screaming and holding their arms up, but she did the same. It was in a monotone manner, but she’s trying.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO425k4CXe
It was a great time; that is, until they got off the ride.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyqUkCPht
Inko: “Ugh… maybe we should have eaten after the Roller Coaster.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YYKXFkqSt
Izuku: “Are you okay?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGomxHNDVyy
Inko: “I think… I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCzGrTrI4
Inko rushes to the bathroom while everyone else waits for her.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9e3vIyWLw
Fubuki: “I should have stopped her when she went to eat more cinnamon rolls.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYakSuRJ1Vy
Izuku: “Maybe, but it’s nice seeing Mom let loose and have fun. I prefer this than to her worrying about us all the time.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5AVFZEIMC
Fubuki: “… You’re right.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0aRMh6Jq
Tatsumaki: “What the heck is this!?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvKqaUSHZQ
The two espers look to their older sister, who seems to have found a new attraction.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbwEcRtOd7
Izuku: “Kiri, can you wait for Mom?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvgB5cDsHt
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7fv33GmdZ
Izuku: “Thanks.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiot5J0xiL
The duo walked up to Tatsumaki, who was near what seemed to be a haunted house.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNBWhZLlww
Izuku: “That’s strange. Was this always here?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RTL8lvxZZ
Fubuki: “It is strange to have a haunted house in an amusement park.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX3RkvmZKR
Izuku: “Some people find amusement in being scared.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPqIZuU41
Tatsumaki: “Freaks, I say. Who wants to be scared?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxF5kmcuRf
The trio looked at the building for a few moments before Fubuki broke the silence.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53DO9fBst5
Fubuki: “So Tatsu, thinking of going in?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DXSqKBD8
Tatsumaki: “W-What?! Of course not! I was just wondering why something like this was here.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuluDs7u6CO
Fubuki: “I don’t know, sounds like you WANT to go in, but you’re too scared to.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIos4j2fNlE
Tatsumaki: “HUHHHH, NO WAY!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1myLDyYQ
Fubuki: “No, it’s totally fine. I’m sure even other pro heroes have something they’re scared of. It’s just natural. There’s no shame in saying you’re scared of ghosts.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKzdBTPVDN
Tatsumaki: “There’s NOTHING that scares me. In fact, you know what? I’ll go in and prove you wrong. Nothing scares me; you’ll see!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisy5RTUw0R
And there she goes, into the dark house of horrors. Izuku stares at Fubuki until she notices it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBWK6HoqKy
Fubuki: “What?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVlQc4DfPh
Izuku: “…That was mean.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyLXp4KOO2
Fubuki: “Come on, it’s just friendly sister teasing. You have to get victories where you can. Speaking of, Izu, are you still scared of clowns?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgK4DlwMj6
Izuku: “And would you look at the time? I have to get back to Kiri.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0F0Kysn9
Fubuki giggles as Izuku walks back the way he came. But as he does, he sees a familiar face.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpMECz4q6G
Izuku: “Tsuyu!”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6CYPSWiFC
She was at one of the food stalls with two other frog-looking kids. Her siblings perhaps? Regardless, Izuku was happy to see her. So happy he was that he didn’t notice her alarm when seeing him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHLEINgh5z
Tsuyu made her way to Izuku, making sure her siblings were behind her.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKCvItQpfy
Tsuyu: “H-Hello, Midoriya. H-Here with your family too?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvr1kiW72O
Izuku: “Yes. Are these your siblings?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bf1O9p2aK
Tsuyu: “Yes. Satsuki, Samidare, this is Izuku Midoriya. T-The one I was telling you about. Say hi.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vTNT00vHb
They gave their greetings while making sure to stay behind Tsuyu. They feel it too, in their instincts, the things under his shadow. Their genetic memory remembers; it screams out against one in particular, The Body.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtKw9ueCV2
Izuku: “Hello. I’m glad to see you, Tsuyu. I wasn’t awake at the time, so I wasn’t sure, but I’m happy to see you’re alrig-”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMVVUK3aTG
Izuku goes to touch her shoulder, a show of care, nothing more, but her in-built instinct screams out. She automatically knocks his hand away. Both of their eyes widen at what just happened.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgs8yDBxaV
The world fades away as they look into each other’s eyes, surprise etched into both of their gazes. But more than anything, pain and sorrow are reflected in Izuku’s dimming orbs.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1HiFq7ejk
Tsuyu: “I-I’m sorry, Midoriya. I-I don’t know what came over me. I guess I’m still not feeling well after the attack. T-Those villains were really scary.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡart8pbv4Ms
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, the villains… I-I-It’s fine. I-I was being too forward. I’ll… leave.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFJUVjE99
Tsuyu wants to tell him that she was at fault, that he can stay and talk. That he’s still her friend. But she can’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she absentmindedly leads her siblings away to someplace safe.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZze5pUeTEl
As for Izuku, his heart races and breaks at the memory of what he did during the attack. The monster he became.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfevMwOOm9M
Before he can become lost in the guilt and shame, he feels Kiri hug him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuVldbFZOq
Kiri: “Onii…”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpWWdcKN0f
He should feel warmth and happiness from her hug. She’s trying so hard to make him feel better. But her hug only makes it worse, because she’s shivering.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXTq0ZpVg
Not from the cold, but because she wants to stop touching him. Like, being this close is uncomfortable. Like, he makes her skin crawl. Even Kiri, of all people, doesn’t want to be near him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZydSlwFf7
She lets him go and scratches her skin.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2o0O47FlS
Kiri: “I’m… sorry.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBUAwaK1W5
Izuku: “… I know.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqn2vqEdo
The day went by quickly after that. Izuku kept up appearances, and he thinks he fooled everyone else. He refuses to ruin their good time; they are what’s important.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcn3k9M6eT
He laughed when Tatsumaki claimed there was a real ghost in the haunted house and for everyone to watch out.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk6QGH6yWl
He smiled when Fubuki didn’t believe it and teased Tatsu again.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lLuEuSSES
He beamed when his mother was the peacemaker and managed to extend the trip for one more hour. After that, they flew home. Izuku once again struggles to use his quirk, but he gets over it for his family.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5clhxJDit
It was almost nighttime when they got home.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChpz9OI1PW
Tatsumaki: “I have to admit, today was fun.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMSnKRDoW4
Fubuki: “I’m glad you got us all together, Mom.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0bEiTBXRq
Inko: “You’re welcome. Are you going to stay?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbblSLrP6F
Fubuki: “Sure.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3zcjNZ4d3
Tatsumaki: “I don’t think I can make it home anyway.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJF2nWVUv5
Inko: “Great! Kiri, you can sleep with me so Fubuki can have her room back.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0le7pourp
Kiri: “…Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkANwno13V
And so it was, the family cleaned themselves and got ready for bed. But before Tatsumaki fell into her bed, Izuku approached her.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jL1ppWTtG
Izuku: “Tatsu, before you go to bed, I have a question.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O8Y8nFh7C
Tatsumaki: “Sure, what is it?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRGMXrKxuI
The brother led her to the empty living room and sat down. Tatsu, sensing a serious conversation, sat down next to him and waited.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7dbVb5sv
Izuku: “Tatsu, how does it feel to be so powerful? Are you ever… scared of it?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq095rN1ESB
Tatsumaki: “Izu, why are you asking me this? What’s happening?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzOdboB7X
Izuku: “Please, just answer me.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFutWDNunY
She sighs before answering.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYVWK4OnYL
Tatsumaki: “Well, to answer the first question, pretty great. It gives me nearly unlimited freedom and the ability to protect my family. Doesn’t hurt that our quirks are convenient and fun to use.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qwPSkH3J
She doesn’t let her brother see the burden such power gives you or the heartbreak that comes when you fail despite it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uo3YOPZBg
All Izuku sees is his amazing and powerful big sister.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW8WDPZZjJ
Tatsumaki: “As for the second question…”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuks1b0rRy
She wants to say no, never. Who would be scared of their own power? Why would Izuku? Then she remembers that she doesn’t know how he defeated the Nomu or what happened.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY3sN6YJTx
She wonders if there is something more to her brother’s quirk.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Mvi8V1FL
So with that in mind, she changes her answer and lets some vulnerability show.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp3xoK3kEY
Tatsumaki: “There were only two times when I was ever scared of my power or even resentful of it.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOY91NRby
Izuku: “R-Really? Why?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLfY1ZFfKk
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t want to discuss what caused me to be resentful. As for scared, it was… when I saw how terrified others were of me.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0MMDnJaZE
Izuku: “W-What did you do?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHiTYGG1iZ
Tatsumaki: “I changed how I used my powers and was a bit more mindful of them. Over time, they became less scared of me. I still cause the most property damage, but it’s the thought that counts.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnsA2i7a8
The two shared a laugh at one of Tatsu’s few flaws. It died down soon after when it was time to return to the serious manner.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzkr6wJl4o
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what’s happening to you, Izu, but I do know that our powers don’t make us monsters. It’s how and why we use them that matters. You can’t be scared of them. Because if you are, how can you improve enough to be a pro hero alongside me and Fubuki?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJI973EJYg
Izuku: “Wow… I didn’t expect this from you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EtYy8n1n
Tatsumaki: “Hey! I have my big sister moments from time to time.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7sGx8jCy7
Izuku: “Hahaha, I know. Thanks, Tatsu. I won’t disappoint you; I’ll… master my quirk.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOBOxsFpSo
Tatsumaki: “I expect nothing less. Now.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxraxhmv923
She gets up and stretches.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6QsM05b8Q
Tatsumaki: “I should get to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow; your big sis still needs to catch those big bad villains who hurt my precious siblings.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwpx9WMdWr
Izuku: “Right, good night, Tastu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve044XadpO
Tatsumaki: “Sweet dreams, Izu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d94NgDnrx
Sweet dreams… huh?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gJKQ9RMw
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpWBQdULxT
Kiri couldn’t sleep. Yeah, the embrace of her mother was great, but it wasn’t what she needed. She wanted to be with Izuku.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuIM9cgtVm
Once again, she failed to be there for him. She could feel his negative feelings, and it was terrible. Confused, painful, and alone.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXe21BCFaI
It got better earlier in the night, but it’s still there. She wishes she could eat it like normal, but something is preventing her. She must try harder for him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mkoWmjETR
So she untangles herself from her mom and slips out of the room. She stalks the halls until she reaches Izuku’s room. Kiri opens it slightly to see if he’s still awake. Turns out, he’s not even in the room.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA6XgQS52h
Panicking a bit, she called out telepathically.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvB7HSMpnm
Kiri: “Izuku? Where are you?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQzOlS8Ev
After a moment, she got a response.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaDhKUT3oC
Izuku: “Roof.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMQwmYiAVL
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kiri closes the door and makes her way to the roof of the apartment complex. The night sky was beautiful tonight, filled with stars.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfWkJhcrL9
It was this sight that Kiri walked into and what Izuku has been staring at for a while now. He’s leaning against the railings with his head angled to the stars; Kiri soon joined him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolOL9IEzvC
Kiri: “Izu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGRXQh6SIH
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep either?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB7ittOzTG
Kiri: “Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEDe8OvDdw
Izuku: “…I’m sorry if I… scare you. I’ll get better at using my quirk; I have to.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0w1IM72ix
Kiri: “You don’t scare me.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OqLQm4qFe
Izuku: “Then why do you shiver when we’re together?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46CfoBvdtT
Should she tell him? He doesn’t know how his… outburst affected her. Would telling him just make things worse?
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JtJgF9I2I
Izuku: “You don’t have to say anything; I know.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a4FRFD3Mi
Kiri: “Know… what?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsl6xxcABU
Izuku: “How what I did affected you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRfQVdcob9
Her eyes widen.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurZdeAMFW
Kiri: “How?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdDIZhSQUP
Izuku: “…Something told me. And even if it didn’t, I could have figured it out. You’re… part of my quirk after all; sometimes I forget, but it would make sense if major changes to my quirk would affect you too. A few nights ago, I assume you got a sudden increase in power.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFIkmKmPQq
Kiri: “… Nh.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfnm3hkjiR
It happened not that long after the UA attack, a sudden jump in power. She felt… more complete somehow.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYX0RFIVoo
Izuku: “That’s why… I understand why you don’t want to touch me. I’m… sorry, Kiri, for what I did.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhyxkSSkL
Kiri: “Don’t apologize; you were just trying to save me.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnBy5KPoht
Izuku: “But I shouldn’t have done it like that or… indulged so much. Instead of ending it quickly… I… played with the Nomu. I… enjoyed making it suffer and… was planning on doing the same thing to Kacchan.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm1mautdBR
His hands tighten around the railings enough to dent it a bit.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6NS35QMUM
Izuku: “And after… a certain dream, I got a small taste of just how much stronger I can get and… how villainous it can become. If just that dip into the potential of my quirk does that… I-I’m frightened by what I’ll turn into later. I’m scared of what… might happen to you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rkjzm3pUO
Kiri doesn’t know what to say to all of that or how to help. So she does what she can; she grabs his hand and interlocks her fingers with his. As expected, it feels… off.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoZEbCbmzC
Izuku: “I’m alright; you don’t have to force yourself. After talking with Tatsu, I know it’s how and why I use this power that’s important. So I’ll… master it and become a hero who saves people with a smile. Not one filled with cruelty but with joy.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85hvWaFt3W
Kiri tightens her grip, fighting against that feeling. She doesn’t want to let go because this is the person she adores, the Hero Izuku. This is the boy she loves.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJXIKcxXd7
Izuku: “I’ll make sure you won’t ever have to go through what you did before again. So… until then, you don’t have to force yourself to be around me.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0zJHEHRP
Kiri shakes her head.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASsuMA6PH
Kiri: “I want to stay. Izu, I… ”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ShMvYxiPF
That familiar feeling returns, strong enough to smother the itchiness. This time, she follows through.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZLBX4UjIf
She turns Izuku’s face towards her and leans in close. But she doesn’t go all the way, instead she just places a simple kiss on his cheek.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU17FT5Zhz
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiqUXbT56r
Kiri: “You’re not alone; we’ll both improve and become heroes together. I won’t leave your side again, Izu.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0naucx8c
She says that, but she’s still shivering. However, Kiri won’t untangle her hand from his. Instead, she’ll prove her words through action. It’s time for both of them to finally get some real rest.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZNWpmh6lZ
Kiri: “Come.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9u4aFfSAH
She leads Izuku back inside and eventually to his bedroom. After closing the door, the two get in bed. Izuku is still worried about whether Kiri will suddenly leave like the first time.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OT9lMlKnN
But she doesn’t; she hugs his chest and buries her face in his neck.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvkf0Wuo1P
The feeling is horrible.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoeL4ktDE9
Like several insects crawling and biting her skin. Her body is shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051jLsfEe5
Izuku: “Kiri, stop. Go back to Mom’s room.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4OKGugS2U
Kiri: “N-No.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaRbFjO7F7
She won’t back down from this. She hangs on for dear life as the sensation gets worse.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjG123A5vL
Clearly, this is not normal. She knows she’s not scared of Izuku and wouldn’t recoil at his touch. So there must be something foreign doing this, something within him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUVGYgCMiS
Well, all the more reason to fight on. And fight on she does; no matter how terrible it feels, she doesn’t let go. In fact, she holds on tighter and starts rubbing his back.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMFNvhMnSc
Kiri: “I-It will be okay. It will be okay.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntMPCiNf64
Izuku: “Kiri…”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBigr67xNUH
And like a storm, eventually, it passes. As if she passed some threshold or test, the sensation stopped.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGC2m1sUvS
The insects disappear, and the feeling is replaced with the warmth they both missed. Kiri stops shaking and settles comfortably into Izuku.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hIMGcBzoY
He senses this and sighs with relief.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mGOd8Xtzo
Kiri: “See? I told you, I won’t leave your side again.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesfoPj8a05
Izuku closes his eyes and smiles. He really has amazing sisters. He embraces her tightly, conveying all the gratitude he could.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXQYzme8Ui
Izuku: “Kiri, thank you.”
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2mi3v4Tpn
She smiles as the two finally get some restful sleep.

Fanfic Adapted: Tatsumaki: Tornado of Trouble by Whackybiscuit [2022]
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY4K7E6o0x
(WARNING: it’s 18+. This is where Arashi comes from. Their history is similar to Chapter 1. But their current relationship is more original.)
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP720PaoFzc
A/N: Damn, this was way bigger than I thought. It was fun though, so I hope you enjoyed it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Bat0ITG3
Now, continuing what I said in the last author note. I think another problem that awaits me in the future is the Izuku x Momo ship.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLta89sOh7v
Can you believe I’m starting to fall out of love with this ship? I swear it’s not just because of Kiri. It just feels off now. I also may have crippled it by not giving her a moment during the UA attack.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY9zo6cQ51
She is supposed to get One For All, but to do that, Izuku needs to see how great she is and that she has the physical strength to handle it.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSklsf0kv8
If she is not able to get One For All, I will lose darn near all interest in this ship.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7sS32JbmM
I can still salvage this; I just don’t know how yet. I’m going to read other Izuku x Momo fanfics to see if it can get a second wind in my mind.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSFvMsF0Ur
If not, I may have to go all the way with Izuku x Kiri. My muse clearly loves the pair, and Kiri clearly loves Izuku. The obstacle is getting Izuku to say yes.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFigLFE4xb
On a happier note, I hope you got the reference I placed in this chapter. With it, I have set up the possibility for Saitama to appear.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANHGj8bSut
But if I do include him, it will be during his earlier years, and he’ll stay mostly in the background. That means no Saitama ship, not enough time to set it up.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYCjcmDLSO
But I could have it in the background, off-screen, if it’s Fubuki. In this context, I think it can work. But I would prefer him to stay single since that’s more in line with his character, IMO.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX1ymDFWMY
Regardless, Saitama won’t be a big part of the story overall. Can still do cool stuff or even participate in major events later, but just not every arc. And since this is not him at his peak, he will be vulnerable to some things.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC7ykv6fqr
For example, Tomura can kill him and he has no resistance to mental attacks.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtYd8cPxqq
For those that don’t want Saitama in this story at all, comment now or forever hold your peace.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4tgkNHEAQ
Well, that’s all I want to talk about. Till next time.
